What are Organic Butters?
Butters are a rich ingredient used in cosmetics and soap making. Harvested from natural sources including beans, nuts, and trees, these skin-soothing additions to creams, lotions, and more are made up of - among other natural elements - fats and fatty acids.
Organic butters in particular come with a whole host of added bonuses. Grown, harvested, and distributed in line with The Soil Association’s highest environmental and ethical standards, our certified butters help protect and sustain the environment (including soils, ecosystems, animals, and people).
Thanks to their solid nature - varying from soft and spreadable to smooth and firm - butters give makers like you full control over consistency. Whether you’re looking for a melt-on-the-skin lotion ingredient or a dependable base for your cold process soap, you’ll find it here.
How to Use Organic Butters?
Each of our organic butters is perfectly unique - with textures, colours, and natural properties galore!
With popular uses across the board including everything from body butters, lip balms, and lotions to both cold and hot process soap, there’s almost no end to the list of butter-friendly soap and cosmetics recipes! For example, our sustainably sourced palm oil is often used in soap making thanks to its easy saponification and high palmitic acid content - adding hardness to bars of soap and longevity to lather, whilst our vitamin-packed unrefined shea butter makes a great addition to body butter, hair treatments, lip balms, and more!
Our butters are generally skin safe - with the softest melting on contact. Some are a little more firm and will require melting beforehand. Be sure to find out more about the individual uses of our organic butters in their product descriptions.
The Benefits of Organic Butters
Organic butters are essentially natural solid fats. Their water-free composition keeps them firm at room temperature - but ensures they’re able to melt into the skin, making some a perfect fat (or superfat) for bar soap, and others a great addition to whipped body butters, lotions, and lip balms.
Rich in fatty acids, each butter type boasts a range of benefits - from moisture-locking abilities to anti-inflammatory properties. On the whole, these natural ingredients are key to keeping skin in good shape.
Our butters’ organic certifications also guarantee that your soap and cosmetics creations are kind to both people and the planet. In making the switch, you’re ensuring your ingredients are grown and harvested in the most sustainable way possible - with no GMO or pesticides used in the process!
